Portland Burrito Shop Forced to Close After Getting Hounded for ‘Stealing From Mexico’

Kali Wilgus and Liz “LC” Connelly, owners of Portland pop-up shop Kooks Burritos, just wanted to make and sell some really great burritos. So when they were on a trip to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico, they “picked the brains” of the local tortilla ladies and brought those recipes back to the States.

“I picked the brains of every tortilla lady there in the worst broken Spanish ever, and they showed me a little of what they did,” Connelly told Willamette Weekly. “They told us the basic ingredients, and we saw them moving and stretching the dough similar to how pizza makers do before rolling it out with rolling pins. They wouldn’t tell us too much about technique, but we were peeking into the windows of every kitchen, totally fascinated by how easy they made it look. We learned quickly it isn’t quite that easy.”

Whelp, apparently this interview sparked an Internet shitstorm, which ended in Kooks Burritos shutting down and the two white women who owned it scrubbing social media of the business’ existence.

Wilgus and Connelly were accused of cultural appropriation by the Internet mob, and even the theft of PoC’s recipes.

I insist that anybody who isn’t of European descent cease culturally appropriating our technology. No more electricity, no more refrigeration, flushing toilets, antibiotics, motorized transportation, water treatment...

"Alright....but apart from the electricity, refrigeration, flushing toilets, antibiotics, motorized transportation, AND water treatment...what have the Europeans *EVER* done for us?"

So they used English language on the global IP network, consuming power from the electrical grid, on their computers ... to complain about “cultural appropriation” ... how ironic.

It’s white people complaining and shaming.

They’re all white.

Stupid liberals.

Don’t forget flush toilets in the list.

And they can all go die (a likely early death) in a mud hut, if they’re pushing this nonsense.

Oops, sorry, it was in there, I missed it.

BTW, my commentary/rant on White Privilege uses a similar list. White Privilege translates as White Competancy for me, and that list is Exhibit A for proof. Don’t like it, POC? Don’t appropriate MY cultural heritage!

Do these A-Holes cook spaghetti at home?
Pizzas?
Do they make tacos at home?
Do they grill brats at picnics?
Do they cook corned beef and cabbage on St Patricks day?
Do they bring foreign label beer home to drink?
Do they serve imported scotch, vodka and wines at their parties?

If so they are misappropriating culture and that must all come to an end

Here is one... I moved to a new area and went to get some take out Chinese. I called in my typical order and was impressed at the guy on the ohone’s english. I drive over to pick it up and there were no Chinese/Asian employees! It felt weird. Food was typical and more than OK. But I have no been back

I heard that was once tried with Taco Bell but it was determined that it was not really Mexican and possibly not food.
